Bluewave Lifestyle Large Tritan BPA Free Water Bottle Jug with 48mm Cap

I have been using several Bluewave water bottles (3 gal) for over three years. I have been carrying them to and from water filling stations, putting them in the car trunk, back seat and car floor with no issues. I have dropped two jugs while they were full of water. Of course the jugs cracked. There is no way these jugs won't crack if slammed around or dropped when full of water. I replaced them with Bluewave brand jugs. The latest jug is indeed "squishier" than the earlier models. The carrying handle is also a bit thicker. I believe the new design gives the jug more "give" when bounced around. This COULD reduce stress on the jug and prevent cracking if banged, bumped or slammed by accident. I have no complaints. My lids have never leaked. I clean them with dilute bleach every couple of months. Zero problems!

I ordered one of these about a month ago, and today ordered a second one. I have mine sitting on my kitchen counter-top in my RV, and have a Dolphin brand manual water pump attached to it. I wanted to try this system out for a few weeks before purchasing a second one. I can't rate it 5 stars yet, as I haven't had it that long to determine the durability. I will be using both of these this coming winter while boondocking in my RV, at which time I will come back and update this product review. By the way, I won't forget because I'm curious as to how these bottles will hold up. And will ultimately buy 2 more simply for the convenience factor. I figure I can fill up all 4 containers from remote drinking water vending dispensers, and when I use one, I can simply take off the pump and use the other one without refilling on the spot. All four can supply me with constant drinking water for at least one week. So, if they turn out to be durable these will be well worth the costs, and pretty much hassle free. *Also I purchased both of these for $17.99 each including Prime Free shipping. It appears that sometimes the unit is listed for free shipping and other times its not, so its best to keep checking over several weeks and buy it when it goes on prime free shipping. NOTE: Prior to purchasing these I had looked all over the internet for the dimensions, and never found any so in case you need the dimensions, it is 14 inch High and 9 inches wide, and the opening is the same size as all the other 3 and 5 gallon jugs. UPDATE: 2/15/2013 - I've been using these since July, and then in September I relocated my RV to the dry desert, and started to use 4 of these water containers. So, as of now I've gone through part of the summer, all of the fall and part of the winter using these containers throughout the day, and I can't believe they haven't cracked yet. These containers hold all my drinking and cooking water. I cycle through one every other day. No signs of aging or cracks or anything else. The dew caps still screw on tight with no leaking. I think I'm safe to say that these containers are pretty rugged, especially being exposed to the dry heat too. Also, the dolphin pump I use on the top, hasn't failed me yet either. They both have served their purpose and made my life a little more simple. I have no issues with these water containers at all, and I'm very happy that I purchased them. This will be my last update, unless at which they do break or start leaking I will report on how long they ultimately lasted.

Great because of the BPA product. Like most other reviews. This product is a little lighter weight due to less durability but it's still a sturdy jug. Don't try to fix any dents if it came with any (I made that mistake cost me one jug). Where it needs to be sturdy and firm, it is. So good for only home use strictly. Outside use I say is a caution. Must be more careful how you put it down and not letting it tip over in the car or in the trunk/truck bed. Good buy.

After searching the web for the perfect BPA free 3 gallon water bottle, I decided on this one and am very glad I did. It is exactly what I wanted in a 3 gallon water bottle (I bought 4 and eventually plan to buy a few more). For a girl, these are the PERFECT size, or for anyone who doesn't want to BUST their backs trying to lift 5 gallon water bottles. I had also bought an "ez-pour" spout to help with NOT splashing water while turning the filled water bottle over to set atop my water crock, but I quickly found that there was no need. Since I do not have the little wire inside my ceramic water crock that pushes the little ball up to begin water flow, it was very difficult to get the water to flow (using the ez-pour), lifting the bottle and tilting several times to get the ball to move became very strenuous. NOT necessary with these 3 gallon water bottles. They are light enough to simply turn over quickly withOUT splashing water. These bottles are very easy to use and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Found the material to be thin for a bottle this size.

Verwende die Behälter um Trinkwasser von einer Quelle zu holen. Auch bewahre ich das Wasser darin auf. Die Behälter sind sehr stabil und sehr angenehm zu tragen durch den großen Griff, außerdem enthält der Kunststoff keine giftigen Weichmacher die ins Wasser gelangen könnten.

Love it, safe and pours great too

This is a good and sturdy tank for the water cooler. I like that it’s smaller allowing me to lift it on my own. Recommend.

Sturdy and long lasting
